Comment on AAA Dominance Is Eroding: 56% of PC Gaming Revenue Now Goes to Games Outside the Top 20

I’d love to play AAA games. But now that they’ve been optimized for frame generation, my 3070 can’t play them to my standard.
If I’m going to stare at a pixelated mess, I’d rather it be curated by an indie artist than technical difficulties from DLSS compression
3070 can’t play them to my standard.
You’ve poisoned yourself. Chasing fidelity and refresh rates has done for graphics what short-form media did to attention spans. I’m emulating PS1 games and playing Fallout 4 on a 970 while my computer fans blow like the flight deck of an aircraft carrier and I am free.
Those still doing 1080p/1440p gaming get the best of both worlds: high framerates with all the fancy graphics turned on, without needing to rely on frame gen or spend a thousand bucks on a graphics card.
IMO 4k isn’t enough of a qualitative leap to justify all the hacks needed to make it run acceptably on current hardware, let alone the sky-high VRAM costs for that resolution. I’d rather run a game in Ultra quality at 1080p than Medium in 4k.
What expectations do you have for resolution and frame rate? My 3070 plays Spider-Man 2 just fine. I think I’m running 1440 at 60. It’s as good or better than the original console release.
I have a 3440x1440 resolution. I aim for a smooth 60. Maybe they made performance better. But, it didn’t work for me well at launch
